The Bristol Public Library will have a book signing by local author Mary McCarty on Saturday, June 7 at 2 PM in the J. Henry Kegley Meeting Room. Her book See You in the Morning will be available for purchase from the author. See You in the Morning tells the story of Mary’s extraordinary mother, Evelyn McCarty. Mother of twelve, Evelyn narrates the story of her life and how her Christian values, determination, and courage helped raise her family. Set in Southwest Virginia, See You in the Morning is a journey through a remarkable life and family stories.

“Have you tried going to heaven and back, and go through a seeming purgatory, as well? I guess not. Take a peep into Evelyn's life. Evelyn did not have an easy childhood. She grew up, got married, and had children. Run-of-the-mill? Hardly. Discover why Evelyn Luvicy McCarty's journey does not simply fit into the cookie-cutter mold. A story of love and family, of hardship and optimism-a touching story at its core. Allow yourself to be drawn into this artful heart-warming tapestry of life. Watch it unfold. Who knows? You could be Evelyn, one way or another.” Author Mary McCarty
